However, even before next year they will want to put on as good as showing as they can in the Confederations Cup 2013 tournament.
After their 3-0 drumming, things do not get any easier; they now play European giants Italy and will be hoping they have better luck at resisting the Italian attack than they managed against the skillful Brazil team.
Italy managed to claim a good win against Mexico in their opening game, and if they win again tonight they will qualify for the next round regardless of their final group game result against Brazil.
This should be a good contest, however, expect Italy to dominate possession, and if they get an early goal they could be happy to sit back deep and protect their lead.
If Japan can keep things level until at least half time then they will be hopeful of snatching a winner in the second half and serving up a shock defeat for the Italians.
